Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups fresh spinach
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water and drain well. If the leaves are large, you can tear them into smaller pieces.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the heated oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and just starting to brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
Add the red pepper flakes to the skillet and stir briefly to release their flavor.
Immediately add the fresh spinach to the skillet, working in batches if necessary, stirring frequently as it wilts down.
Season the spinach with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Continue to stir-fry the spinach for about 3-5 minutes until completely wilted and tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice, tossing to combine.
Adjust seasoning, if needed, and serve the garlic spinach stir-fry immediately as a vibrant side or light meal.
